Abstract

Law is very important in the society. It is necessary for making society to be peaceful and problem free. Law is man-made and created to modulate the society by introducing justice, fairness and equality which is delivered by courts, executed by governments and is applicable to every individual within their jurisdiction. The law give protection to the victims and punish the wrong-doer accordingly . Law strives to maintain peace and safety among people and provide ways to resolve their disputes and dispense justice. The administration of justice is within the purview of courts. The general notion is that courts in India are not courts of justice but courts of law because poor and indigent persons are denied access to justice. The major reason for such a denial is illiteracy and unawareness of the laws and rights. The rights and duties are outcome of law. Law touches the daily life of every Indian citizen in myriads ways of which general mass is not even aware. Illiteracy, social backwardness, topography, psychological distancing and mental incapacity act as real barriers to the common people for getting access to the seats of justice. The result is that these people become silent sufferers even while they face abject denial of justice.
